Yet somehow in the midst of all that I have never shared with you a full day’s example of how I eat. A reader pointed that out to me in last week’s Foundation of Nutrition post, which is part of a new series I’m calling ‘Nutrition and Fat Loss 101’. I thought I’d better rectify that and add in a previously unplanned addition to this series!

this is how i eat

This is a typical sample (non-treat) day:

5.45am: wake up, take fiber, primal greens, glutamine, selenomethionine (selenium) in water with 2 yang-r-ala washed down with it (carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid; best ever combo for fat loss and for morning energy). Extra glass water before this, and another half glass after this.

6am: in car on the way to the city: 120-140 grams of leftover roast beef, 5 or 6 raw organic brazil nuts

8.15am: BCAAs, C and E, carnitine, glutamine before training, followed by BCAAs, beta-alanine during training and BCAAs, C and E, magnesium after training. My morning training is always weight lifting. Currently I am trying to build muscle, so I am lifting very heavy weights with very slow tempos and long-ish rest periods. I’m on a 4-day split. I do not stretch or do cardio after (or before) training.

11.30am: Strong 3/4 latte. I’m trying to minimise milk; I would like to cut it out altogether but am just being lazy about it. So I order strong lattes with only 3/4 milk which ends up being barely any more milk than a long macchiato, but for some reason I just don’t want to order a long mach later in the day!

4.30: I might do 20 minutes of intervals sprints on the treadmill, or occasionally a circuit workout in the gym. I would take some BCAAs before this.

4.15: PWO shake, same as before. I only take 2 shakes if I’m doing 2 workouts; I prefer solid food aside from this. With or without the shake I would eat a few more nuts and usually some more chicken/meat/fish from whatever is left from my day’s food.

8.30pm: (This is just last night; I try not to eat after dinner at least half the time): organic full-fat yoghurt with steamed rhubarb, a few toasted seeds, and cinnamon. Peppermint tea.

10pm: Fiber, glutamine, uber inositol, 2 more ubermag, glycine.

10.30pm: Bed.

All of my supplements are from Poliquin Performance, and I also stock only Poliquin in my office. The exception is protein powder, which I get from Tonic Superfoods (enter bodyincredible at checkout for a discount) and also stock in my South Melbourne office.

I should also add, this is on a work day; which happens 3 x p/week. On a non-work day I might sleep in until 6, and would certainly only do one workout. Unless I add in some kettlebells at home 🙂
